If you were ever the shy, timid sort who had a low opinion of yourself you will definitely empathize with Osolde. She was always the wallflower at balls and really though she was too plain to ever have a man marry her. It did not help that her two best friends were really pretty and vivacious. She was always picked on by a couple of girls at the balls and the current ball was no exception! They truly enjoyed making her miserable.
Well at this ball those miserable creatures really had her in tears =and then the unthinkable happened--a gentleman intervened. She had no idea she knew him until a few days later--he did not recognize her either. Neither had thought to ask the other their names!
Isolde was always having trouble believing that he could actually have feelings for her and it was a constant battle for him to prove himself.
Lots of things happen to separate these two-including an untrue rumor started--then bring them back together. It was almost a disaster until his Mother wrote a letter to her Father--
Yes, there is a happily ever after!! Oh how I love Historical Romances--I loved this one and am sure you will too!!

About the Author: (from Amazon)
Born the oldest of three children, Patricia Haverton grew up believing that she'd follow in her father's footsteps and pursue a career in science. However, her worldview changed when she decided to explore her British mother's roots. The trip to her ancestral lands solidified her conviction that she had found her true calling in the romanticism of the Era of Kings and Queens.
A hopeless romantic and a firm believer in the idea of soulmates, Patricia changed the course of her life and decided to get her degree in Creative Writing and Psychology. As she jokingly says ever so often, "she lives in the past now, where love shows the way and Dukes save the day!"
When she's not weaving tales of love that prevails, Patricia enjoys spending time with her husband, roaming the British countryside, where they have been living in for the past decade.
Now would be the time to let yourself go and experience the true magic of the Regency Era! Let your imagination run wild, live amazing adventures through the eyes of brave heroes! Like the legendary wise wizard, Patricia will be your guide!
